Hi Cindy

I read your post stating that you started on Abraxane a few weeks ago.

I just took my first treatment yesterday (7/29) and had a few questions.

Are you doing the once every 3 weeks? I asked my onc if I could take once a week for 3 and then off 1 week in hopes of lessening such a strong dose at one time. Do not even know if this would make a difference.

How much is your dosage? How do you feel. I have a minor sore throat this morning and was tired after the treatment. It could be from draining sinuse which sometimes makes me feel this way but I felt fine going in.
Other then that, ok.

Have you lost your hair, if so how long after?
Are your counts falling much?
How many courses will you take and will they scan you once done with first course or more?

Sorry for all of the questions, but since this drug is relatevely new, wanted to get first hand from someone on it.

Thanks Cindy and hope you are doing well.

Irene
